Rita Ora’s Met Ball Hairdo Took Three Days to Create!

By James St. James on May 4, 2017 11:30 am

Although I still struggle daily with my understanding of just what exactly a Rita Ora is, there’s no denying she looked absolutely brilliant at the Met Ball. Her Marchesa dress! And that hair!

I mean, REALLY.

That hair.

MAG. NIF. I. CENT

Celebrity hairstylist and MIZANIGlobal Artistic Director César DeLeön Ramirez is the man responsible for the look, telling E! Online:

“The Met Gala is literally one of my favorite carpets, I look forward to it every year!” he said, “This year, I’m with Rita Ora and I’m so excited because she is a dream client. She’s that girl that takes risks and kills a carpet.”

“I wanted to create a head piece out of hair that mimicked a snug cap. We wanted it to be platinum blonde, so I knew I had to use hair wefts”

Hair wefts? What are those? And how did he do it? Watch the video here. Basically, it boils down to this:

Step 1: Mix Mizani HRM Humidity Resistant Mist, Foam Wrap and True Textures Twist and Coil Jelly in a bowl.

Step 2: Cut Indique hair wefts in color 613 from the Hysteria collection into 1-inch pieces.

Step 3: Glaze each piece on plastic block heads.

Step 4: Allow the hair wefts to dry for three days.

Step 5: Peel each piece off and cut them into angled shapes.

Step 6: Prep the hair by slicking it down with Twist and Coil Jelly and Edge Taming Gel as tight to the head as possible.

Step 7: Glue the hair wefts, piece by piece, to a stocking cap into your desired shape.

Step 8: Cut the wefts at the hairline into an graphic shape, giving it “a very futuristic 20’s flapper feeling.”
